What a Boulder marketing consultant actually costs
Independent marketing consultants in Boulder generally bill $150 to $300 an hour, and Front Range agencies run $8,000 to $20,000 a month on retainer. Both price advice separately from execution, which is why so many Boulder founders end up with a strategy deck and nothing built.
Fiveday collapses the two. One flat $5,000 a month buys the thinking and the output from the same person, with no hourly meter running while you talk.
- Positioning and message architecture, written not just discussed
- Website, landing pages and product surfaces, live in five business days
- Investor and sales decks, key art, campaign visuals
- Short-form video and social systems for launch
Why Boulder companies hire this way
Boulder runs on small teams with outsized ambition — climate tech on Pearl Street, hardware in Gunbarrel, CPG brands out of Longmont, wellness studios and real estate groups across the county. Most are past the DIY stage and years away from a marketing hire.
A subscription fits that shape. You get senior judgment for the months you need it, then you pause. No recruiting cycle, no twelve-month agency contract, no equity conversation.
How a month runs
You send requests to a queue. I work one at a time, in your priority order. Websites and video land in five business days; decks, key art, logos and social assets land same day to 24 hours. Revisions are unlimited until the work is right.
Everything is delivered as source files and repositories you own outright. Nothing is held hostage if you cancel.
Where I work in Boulder County
Fiveday is a virtual-first studio based in Boulder, Colorado 80302. Everything runs on Mountain Time, so you get same-zone replies during the working day instead of an overnight gap. I work with companies across Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Superior, Erie, Longmont, Broomfield, Niwot, Gunbarrel and the Denver metro.
Virtual-first does not mean remote and distant. Boulder and Denver clients get in-person kickoffs when it helps, and everyone gets the same five-day clock regardless of where they sit.
